On February 1st, 2025, Safari Maze at Centenary Park will come alive with a celebration. It will be as poignant as it is electrifying: a tribute to Mowzey Radio, one of Uganda’s most cherished musical icons.
This year’s event marks the 8th anniversary of his passing. It also doubles as a posthumous birthday celebration for the fallen star.
Starting at 10 PM and running into the night, it’s a gathering to honor his life and legacy. His melodies still resonate across generations.
Best of all, it’s free entry. Fair prices and exceptional service will ensure fans fully enjoy the experience.
A Legacy Worth Celebrating
Born Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo on Friday, January 25th, 1985, Mowzey Radio was more than just a singer. He was a force of nature.
With a silky voice and poetic lyrics, he redefined Ugandan music. He blended Afrobeat, R&B, and reggae in ways that captured hearts far beyond Uganda’s borders.
From the electrifying hit Bread and Butter to the soulful Nakudata, his catalog proves his unmatched talent. Radio’s contributions extended beyond his own discography.
As one half of the dynamic duo Radio & Weasel, he put Uganda on the global music map. Their 2015 BET Award nomination for Best International Act: Africa was historic. It solidified their status as international trailblazers.
Collaborations with artists like Wizkid on “Don’t Cry” and PJ Powers on “Home to Africa” showcased Radio’s ability. He bridged cultures and genres effortlessly.
Why This Year Matters
This year’s tribute is not just a remembrance. It’s a celebration of a legacy that refuses to fade.
As we gather on February 1st, we’re reminded of the man whose voice could heal and inspire. Radio’s untimely passing in 2018, caused by injuries from a bar altercation in Entebbe, was devastating. Yet his memory lives on in his music and in the hearts of those who loved him.
For many, the final week of January has become a time of reflection. It’s a moment to revisit Radio’s timeless tracks and appreciate his artistry.
This year’s event promises to amplify that spirit. It features a lineup of top DJs, including:
- @deejay4by4
- @aron_deejay_mixkiller
- @ragzdjug
- @selekta_raba.
With a strict focus on 100% Ugandan music, the night will honor the vibrant scene Radio helped shape.
